• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Guys,
I have two glass sight tubes that come out the bottom of the centersection fuel tanks on my antique. I made new cork floats and coated them in system three resin. Now I've read that the resin is resistant to aviation fuel but not gasoline. I assume this is because of alcohol.

What is the standard for coating the cork? or at all? I have one that was in fuel for 30 years and looks great, it has some sort of varnish.
